FILLING UP YOUR HOT TUB/ SPA
IMPORTANT: Before filling the spa, it is important to read and
understand the water chemistry section of this manual. Do not
proceed until the water chemistry section is understood and the source
water is tested.
Verify that the spa is in the desired final location. Refer to the
'Choosing a Location' section - once filled, the spa cannot be moved
without draining.
Follow these filling instructions to avoid damage to the spa pumps:
1. Leave power to the spa off until spa is completely filled.
2. Never leave an unfilled spa exposed to direct sunlight without the
Spa Cover installed. Resulting damage such as bubbles and
wrinkles in the spa shell and fading of the jet faces is not
covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
3. Never operate spa pumps without water because this could result
in permanent pump and/or heater damage which is not covered
by the manufacturer's warranty.
4. Remove all warning labels from spa shell.
5. Apply Acrylic Surface Protection solution if desired to keep the
spa shell clean, especially around the water line. Follow package
instructions.
6. Remove the filter lid, basket and filter cartridge.
7. Inspect all Jets (shipping may cause jets to become loose or
detached). Check to see that the black Drain Valve (located to
the left or right of the front access panel) is closed and that all
barrel unions are tight. The slice valves should be open.
IMPORTANT: Follow the next steps closely to prevent damage to
the Spa Pumps.
8. Insert garden hose or other clean water source directly into
filter housing. Push hose pipe into filter housing until it stops.
Fill up to bottom of the LED lights. Secure hose placement and
turn on water.
Owners Manual
Starting your hot tub/spa
Filling the spa through the filter housing preventsan air lock from
occurring in the spa pumps, which is an air pocket preventing the flow
of water through the pump. Permanent damage caused by running the
pump with an air lock (or without water) is not covered by the
manufacturer's warranty.
10. Check for leaks! Although spas are fully checked at the factory,
shipping and delivery might cause a leak.
11. Before power is applied familiarise yourself with the spa
control operations.
12. Adding some Scale Control during the filling process reduces
limescale. Follow package instructions.
13. Turn water off and remove hose.
14. Reinstall filter cartridge, basket and filter lid.
15. Add start-up Chemicals after power is turned on. Refer to
Powering Up the Spa section.
DRAINING YOUR HOT TUB/ SPA USING THE DRAIN VALVE
1. Start by shutting off the electrical breaker connected to your spa
2. Open the drain valve located at the side of the spa and let the
water drain out. This valve has a straightforward locking
mechanism that stops the water from flowing out while you
attach a garden hose to the cap.
3. With the valve extended, unscrew the cap from the middle of the
valve.
4. Screw in the male end of the garden hose to the valve and run
the hose to your drain location. When ready, push the valve back
in and twist it to empty the water from the spa.
5. Once the water has stopped flowing out of the drain valve, use
the wet/dry vacuum to suck out any remaining water from each
jet head (NOTE: If your spa is equipped with a blower, briefly turn
the power to the spa back on and run the blower for 10 seconds
to remove excess water. Shut off the power when finished).
6. Twist valve and pull out to CLOSE.
